When you read these, engage gray matter. Think. If Roma and Travellers
had a National Association of Roma and Travellers in the U.S.A.,
the newsmedia might be more circumspect about such careless reporting.
What fraction of this stuff is even remotely associated with Gypsies
or Travellers???

May the Good Lord help us. I am in the process of having my driveway
paved, and I have been told over and over that all the "short cuts" are done
by "Gypsies." However, my blue eyed Portuguese neighbor (decidely not
Roma) has not yet finished by drive!

OK, so the scam is sometimes part of the game. Gypsies or Travellers
did not invent this for crying out loud. Most do not. We did
not invent the ruse! Do "we gotta love this" notariety? Some
of this should be legally actionable! Beware these places.

Most of the comments were written by a Romanichal, and are from that slant.
